November 26, 2017: My cold weather dog!

Winter is almost upon us and, while it’s almost impossible to coax my french bulldog, Lulu, outdoors at the mere sight of snow, our senior pug, Suji, loves the frisky weather. I don’t know what it is – maybe the fact that she was, literally, raised in a barn – but she seems impervious to the elements and has no problem with snow. Hell, she loves the stuff – sniffle-snaffling and trotting aboubt, literally punching down the soft powder with her paws until WE have enough, scoop her up and bring her inside. I suspect she may have some Viking blood in her.

Warm AND fashionable.

Rudolph’s substitute.

Not sure whether she looks festive or old world East European ecclesiastical.

Those Siji onigin are amazing! Very creative.
Suji is such a tough cookie. Lulu however is, like most of us, sensible when it comes to cold weather – prefers to stay snuggly and warm.
My pup, Puddle, hates anything wet… rain, baths and yes, puddles. Great for a dog that comes to work with a gardener!

Wow, the camera really does love Suji. Every pic looks great. But, that one of Akemi and Suji is just beautiful!

Is that a filter on the photo or did Akemi really do her hair that awesome colour? Looks great!

I call our chigi an Ohio chihuahua because her shorter, thicker corgi legs cause her to stay warm. It’s cute when she jumps for snow flakes. The down side is she tires quickly swimming and she’s a big wimp about heat.

One summer AM, she started pulling on my wrist. (It’s ok when herding dogs do that. ) Usually, that’s just to pull me down to rub her belly, but this time she was taking me somewhere. I went along and once in front of the air conditioner, she stopped and looked at it. I feigned ignorance to test how intentional this was. She was about to grab my wrist again, so I turned it on and she left me alone. The wimpy part is it wasn’t that hot yet, she was just trying to stay ahead of the heat.

I’m with Lulu. I’m impossible to coax outside when it snows. Maybe Suji stays out in the snow on purpose so her parents will “scoop her up” and make her come it. Nice to have someone who loves and cares about you. Lucky girl and it shows. She is beautiful.

I would love to go out in the snow too. We don’t generally get snow in the suburbs of Melbourne. Perhaps Suji finds it gentler on her feet or maybe she just likes showing off those beautiful, warm coats.

My cat used to flop in the middle of the floor in Summer. She had a long, thick coat. I would put the fan on. She loved the fan.

Give your pups an extra hug tonight. At 9:30 we said goodbye to our wonderful lab, Aisha, We’ve suspected since September that she might have cancer, but it was confirmed tonight when she fractured her leg due to the tumor that had spread. She gave us love for 14 1/2 years and we will miss her every day.

I’m so sorry Sparrow_hawk. It’s hard losing a fur baby.

Need to go to local chocolate shop as my hot chocolate from Soma (Maya) ran out this morning. If I got back to work, it would be simpler, but not happening soon (3months soonest). Then I could just fly to YYZ. I am getting better as public TV had a show about the Hmong and how they came to Minnesota. It bought back memories from when I worked at the Senators office during the time this refugee issue was in the news. Memories! My mom’s dog dosn’t like it when is rains much less snows.
